Post by: Smudgey on September 10, 2011, 12:43:27 PM

Abby was naughty yesterday and helped herself to some food pouches tearing them open
she now has very sore and swollen top lips

No sorry but if she has damaged them you need to speak to a vet as they may get infected.

I would bathe them in salt water in the first instance and as Gill says get her to the vet if things don't improve  :hug:

I have been bathing them and they do seem a little better
would rather not go down the vet route as she often has a seizure if we take her there :-(
Obviously i will if i need to though
thanks to you all for your repiles
